Zoom is a great meeting client that lets you chat with up to 100 people for free, while also allowing you to add custom backgrounds, create subgroups for your participants, and use annotation during meetings. The app also lets you upgrade your membership to connect with up to 500 people at once.
How to open a Zoom meeting in the Chrome browser
Zoom has slowly but surely gained popularity due to the recent pandemic, as many institutions and organizations around the world are looking for a viable, secure, and easy-to-use meeting client.
The service has desktop clients for all the major platforms and even comes with its own mobile apps, making it easier to join meetings remotely, no matter where you are. Zoom’s desktop app is also good, but when you install it, Zoom consistently annoys you with an option to join a meeting only through the app, rather than continuing through the browser itself.
If you don’t keep your Zoom app open in the background on your PC to avoid pop-ups and battery drain, you may prefer to join a meeting through your web browser only. You may also have blocked the Zoom PC app from launching automatically to save resources.
